Chris, the way I use is to remove the cables and then loosen all the carb
to air box clamps, then push the rubbers into the air box. Next, loosen the
carb to manifold rubber clamps and wiggle the carbs back off the rubbers.
It's a lot tighter fit than a 750. You can gain a little more room by
disconnecting the air box from the frame too.
